Not Sha. Or Willard when he was here, lol.

Only any Rutgers coach, Hurley pre-titles, Wright pre-titles, etc

Two things can be true at the same time. The SHU program is a dumpster fire, and Schiano made an inexcusable coaching blunder.

Agree. Unfortunately for RU the kicker got it off and was 15 yards short and that changed the coaches mind.

Disagree. No way on a 58 yarder would EVERY SINGLE ONE call a timeout. Insane. And I suspect with a comment like that you didn't watch the ending and the situation.

I don't think anyone really knows. Folks have reported here though that the figures stated on that Trilly Donovan service are much lower than that to be "competitive".

Someone knows, though. If the total is 1.5m how much of that, approximately, goes to the players?

Quite possibly the dumbest thread I could imagine after what I watched last night. Laughing at a team that just had a lead on a ranked team with 15 seconds left. You can’t make it up.

The Addae-Wusu stuff has to stop. What more do we need to see? We're talking about his entire career. Maybe Felton showed enough to play more lead guard. It's going to be a scramble. Dual is needs to get better fast.

The 4/5 spots are the least of our worries, IMO. But if I was coach, I would have one of Okorafor, Erheriene, or Yalden out there at all times. They're young players, we have 3 of them, stop going small and weaking the 4-spot with Aligbe or Toumi having to play center. It weakens too many positions.

I think you have to settle on some pairings with rotations. When Addae-Wusu out of position and Aligbe are on the floor together the offense is mess. A bit like Femi/Ndefo.

The three centers have totaled 33 points and 35 rebounds over 160 minutes over the first six games. That's 5.6 PPG and 5.8 RPG in nearly 27 MPG. The problem with asking them to play more is they haven't shown they're capable of carrying the load. This is an issue we knew we'd have and it's come to fruition. I agree we're weakening two positions at once but sadly that may be a better option.

I know people hate on Dylan but we need him right now. He was awful against Vandy but he was far from our biggest problem (we're probably not beating anyone if Jenkins becomes the invisible man). He too is being asked to do more than he's capable of but we need effective minutes from him most nights if we expect to win.

Dual has to step up but he's only shown that ability in small bursts. I don't know if it's the shoulder or if he's simply not that good (maybe a bit of both) but hopefully he turns the corner quickly.

Felton did well in his low leverage minutes on Friday. I'd like to see him get a real chance to run the team. Hell, it feels like we're playing 35 guys anyway.

There’re back!

Say what???? AOC = performative at best..... very dramatic and cringy.... like when she had faux tears at the border when she decried kids in cages

Agree she has made mistakes.
My point is that if you listen to her in an interview or even when she goes live on instagram, it’s refreshing to hear a politician just give their opinions that aren’t in line with the party talking points.

I don’t agree with everything she says, so I’m not here to defend her… I just want more politicians to be honest about their views.

Seth Moulton is another example. His comments about trans people were spot on. He’ll now have to deal with some absurd backlash because god forbid a democrat offends someone.

Yea this is a huge stretch, as bad as it has been. FAU isn't good -- fully expect a W tomorrow with a rested group. Monday is a win. NJIT is a win. Rutgers will be a tough game no doubt. And honestly we start the Big East schedule about as well as you can ask right now.

Villanova doesn't look good at all, despite Dixon. Even on the road that seems like a winnable game. It is hard to judge individual matchups this time of year, but Virginia (picked preseason 5th in the ACC) beat Nova by double digits, and Virginia looked like it didn't belong on the same court as St. John's last night.

And Georgetown despite having some real talent has seemingly struggled with various low/mid majors and got absolutely destroyed by Notre Dame, and I'm not sure how good Notre Dame is this year.

NIL is changing. Schools can players directly. Allows us access to school funds and not only collective donations.

No bigger marketing dollars for the University than Men's Hoops. Priorities for the success of the program can be made. We are no longer going to be constrained by donor dollars.

Crazy stupid coaching. And the loss might have cost them a good bowl.
Detroit on 26th seems to be the likely destination.

That ending was spectacular. Truly it was. Couldn’t think of a better ending to that game.

":.... and who is getting paid what?" A fair question. When I asked it, a poster responded it might be easier to find out who [all] are in heaven.

If there are going to be more breathless appeals to contribute, I'd like to know our players payroll: even a good estimate.
Otherwise I/we are writing what seems to be a blank check.

This time last year---- actually, maybe even a few weeks later--- I questioned how we would win 4 BE games. Who could we beat? And look how that turned out.

Good news is we can't get any worse.

So, without resolving the PG issue in some
way, I am not sure what can be accomplished? You have Wusu, Dual, Felton and maybe Harmon. We have not had a good deal of stability at the Point through six games. Remember, no game has yet to be played in a hostile environment. What's that going to look like? I would still start Wusu unless Harmon gets back. I'd sub in Felton very early in the game until he proves he's overmatched or he's the guy. Looking at those next many game projections, winning scoring in the 50's or low 60's is not sustainable. I can see 3 or 4 wins there, but again what is the Goal for the Season????

Excellent comparison. And it seems to me that Sha always wants to have an “Ndefo” on his team and he’s desperately trying to make Aligbe that guy.

But the real Ndefo was light years better than Aligbe and even he had offensive limitations but by this teams standards he’d be a go to scorer.

I remember one year the team had trouble shooting free throws and PJ brought in a psychologist.
